Pilgrims from all over the world, tourists and businessmen will be able to stay in the premises established in the monastery buildings. After reconstruction, the monastery spaces will be adapted for conferences, concerts, cultural and pastoral events.
The project proposals also contemplate the landscaping of the site, restoring and complementing the old system of roads and passages, where additional parking spaces will be provided to meet the needs of the hotel.
The current purpose of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord building will not be changed from religious, but the closest historical-religious purpose will be restored to the adjacent buildings of the hospital, garage, administrative purpose.
The project will preserve the image of the Missionary Monastery and the whole of the church. The church, which has been closed for many years, will be open to the public and the territory will be cleared.
A similar example of the arrangement and enhancement of a heritage object is Vilnius St. Michael’s Church and Bernardine Monastery, which now houses the Museum of Ecclesiastical Heritage, the Archangel Center for Art and Conferences, and other organizations.
The ensemble of the Vilnius Missionary Monastery and the Church of the Ascension of the Lord is one of the most important architectural interests associated with the cultural identity of the Vilnius Historical Center.
This exceptional ensemble is mentioned in the application for inclusion of the Vilnius Historical Center in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
